Visit Adventure Cycling on Your Next Bicycle Tour

With summer weather finally peeking through the clouds here in Missoula, our office is in full visitor mode. On Monday alone, we had almost 40 visitors, including a big group from PUSH America. Throughout the season, we plan to have around 1,000 travelers stopping to say "hi" on their cycling adventures. Some of them are biking across the country on the TransAm, the Northern Tier, or their own route. Others are on a quick 4-day bike vacation with their family. Whatever their current adventure, they stop in to see the history behind our organization and bicycle travel, to sample the free ice cream and to rest.

If you visit our office, you will be met by one of our staff members who has volunteered to be the Official Cyclist Greeter for the day. They will have you log your trip in our visitor book, snap your photo for our visitor wall and offer you complimentary ice cream and beverages. You can also check your email, buy some gear or check out the collection of photographs and vintage bikes throughout the office. If you are not yet a member, you will get a free membership. If you are already a current member of Adventure Cycling, you will receive one of our new limited-edition bandanas. These were designed by co-founder Greg Siple specifically for our visiting members. They come in 6 different colors and all feature the same design which has the word "bicycle" in several different languages.  These bandanas are an exclusive momento for visiting member cyclists.

So, if Missoula is on your route, be sure to stop in and say "hi".  We are open Monday - Friday, 8 - 5 and on the following Saturdays from 9 - 1: 6/16, 6/23, 6/30, 7/7, 7/14, 7/21, 7/28, 8/4, 8/11, 8/18, and 8/25.  If you have already stopped in to see us, you can find your photo in our visitor gallery to share with your friends and family!
